    Can Germany hang on? Five minutes away from yet another final in this competition and a date with Sarina Wiegman's England on Sunday.

    It started slowly, but it's thrilling now.

    Excellent work down the left hand side from Sydney Lohmann, she releases Svenja Huth, perfect opportunity for Linda Dallmann, she sits the defender down and somehow Germany don't get a corner from it.

    It has to better at this stage in the tournament, in this game. Cool heads are required from France.

    Germany 2-1 France

    France have a free-kick, maybe 30 or 35 yards out. Selma Bacha lifts it well over the bar. Not the time or place to shoot from there.

    Germany 2-1 France

    France leave loads of space at the back - they have to really - and Linda Dallmann steers a glorious chance wide. Although she was offside anyway.

    "Allez Les Bleues" is the cry from those waving French flags. France have never made it into a major final and need to find a moment of magic to rescue this one.

    Those three saves from Merle Frohms in quick succession are looking so, so important, before Popp headed in for her sixth of the tournament - taking her level with England's Beth Mead at the top of the goalscoring charts.

    The German keeper punches it away.

    The collective work ethic in Germany to see this game is incredible. It costs nothing to run around. They are all committed to the plan.

    Wendie Renard stays up and she gets in a powerful header which Merle Frohms holds onto.

    Germany 2-1 France

    France have a free-kick and Wendie Renard is up. It's headed away and France have a shot blocked from range.

    Time to throw Wendie Renard up front? Nothing to lose now.

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The big thing for France is that the ball needs to stick up front and that hasn't happened for the majority of this game.

    Germany 2-1 France

    Clara Mateo gets the ball near the corner of the box and shoots over. How many more chances will France have? Five to go.

    The attendance is 27,445 - the highest at Milton Keynes in this tournament and the ninth highest crowd in the competition's history.

    Unless there's some late drama, they are all watching Germany stay on course for their ninth title as it will be them against England at Wembley on Sunday.

    France have 10 minutes to keep their hopes alive.

    Germany 2-1 France

    Almost a huge chance for France although an offside flag means it wouldn't count. Just as well for Grace Geyoro, who absolutely skies it from 10 yards.
